Notley Coats wife Franky...we believe this family came out of Frederick County MD, he has a son James Coats in Chester County SC and possible relatives William Coats of Camden District and Charles Coats of Newberry District... The name in SC is spelled both Coats and Cotes and in MD it is spelled Coarts...don't ask me, that's just what the records say....:) We also have a Coats DNA project at: http://www.rootsquest.com/~coatsfar/coatsarchive/dna.htm Charlotte Coats for records on this family go to: http://www.rootsquest.com/~coatsfar
